Why buy these vs just buying a bulb?

Overall a cleaner look. Also has a foam gasket around it to minimize air flow through the housing.

Our fixtures were all old and yellowed. These were such a simple fix. My 12 & 13 year old boys put in four withinabout 20 minutes, after turning off the breaker.

Because they create a tight seal with the ceiling preventing air flowing and heat loss during winter or hot air coming in during summer. When you have a lot of these, it makes a difference.

it looks very good almost like a fixture on its own and overall performs very well

On a typical downlight installation, you must purchase 1) a "can" which is mounted above the ceiling and has the bulb socket for the electrical supply, 2) a "trim" which provides an aesthetic look and hides the can/ceiling interface, and 3) a "light bulb". If you are installing a new downlight (such as for a new house or new addition), then you only need to purchase the can and this product. This product is a bulb and "trim" combination. Overall, this will save you money for a new installation.

This "can" and light are moisture resistant. They are good for places like bathrooms.

I think the look and fit and finish of the installed product is much better than just a bulb. Plus the kit will seal up the can better than a bulb.

No Light Bulbs needed. They are LED lights. No replacements, no hassles. That was the reason I changed to LED from the old bulb type.

I'd skip them. They fall apart easily and take a Crap at the worst time. Had two in my plate lights. Got pulled over. They last maybe a month or two. They will wotk in any push in style bulb with matching base

Yes to both questions... Haven't even had to replace bulbs yet... Over one year... Use constantly..

Frustration-Free is just different packaging. Same bulb. Go w/ the cheapest, usually Frustration Free.

I'm just a homeowner and not an expert. It sounds though like you're concerned about heat build-up from the bulb. It's my understanding that these bulbs create negligible heat. and a cut-out would be more than enough.

Yes, this is exactly what I bought them for and they work great. The case is a nice bonus so you don't lose or break the extra bulbs. I'm very happy with my purchase.

LED light is much better light rendition. Also...get this...you NEVER have to change the light bulbs because you dont have little hands nor a sterile laboratory to make new drivers . The old incandescent bulb cost $8.00 each....so by the time you buy all the bulbs you may as well just spent the extra $30.00 to buy the LEd.Because they never get hot enough to burn out...or the fillament will be thrashed from side to side just ripping it apart rendering loss of light output. As far as brightness goes....Yes 100% brighter with tighter figures being projected everywhere. And it actually moves to the music because the heat doesn't affect the driver.

Everything you need including bulbs iirc. They burn out easily so get extras.

Its personal preference actually, I tried the white and that is like having an OEM bulb. I would stick with the white LEDS. Hope that helps.

I would spend the extra money for the Philips bulb. I bought a total of 3 bulbs the one above lasted about 8 months. The Philips lasted for over 2 years and still works. I'm a heavy tv watcher and that matters

Better; for what?...These were used by me to upgrade a 1999 Acura CL factory bulb to a High Power Sylvania bulb. They are an harness upgrade to insure the 'heat ' capacity will stand the newer technology, and they present no problems. (My own take on 'HiPro', is with a name like that, perhaps it is all marketing, then again I do not know that product).

I just purchased the lamps about 8 months ago and the bulbs are still fine. Really depends on how long you have them lit so it's very hard to answer that question. I did buy a back up bulb since I use one lamp more than the other. Trust me you won't worry about replacing the bulb once you see how well the lamp works. That is why I bought two and three of my neighbors bought one each too.

I had to get LED bulbs, my electrician installed CFLs that were marked,"not for use with dimmer". He said they were, but I also saw the box they came in and it said not for use with dimmer. The LEDs cost more, but are engineered to last much longer than CFLs. I am looking at them now, and I think it was worth the money to get the LEDs. They seem brighter than the CFL bulbs also.

Being able to run a larger bulb with no fire danger is probably best reason. Reasonable warm up time, but I have seen better. Very slight blue tint. The tint isn't noticeable unless you were looking for a warm light.

Good question, I don't know . But I thought the bulbs were supposed to last for a very long time.
